In summary, the conversation discusses an advertisement promoting water conservation and its potential impact on poor countries. However, it is noted that water conservation is a local issue and may not directly benefit other countries. The conversation also mentions a current drought in South East England and East Anglia, leading to hose-pipe bans.

Hi Experts

I heard an advertisement that encourages people to save water.

It says that there are many people in countries without good water to drink.

But if say UK people turns the tap off while brushing, this only saves UK water.
How can this help poor countries ?

It doesn't. Water conservation is a local issue, not a global one.

If you're based in the UK it's likely because South East England and East Anglia are in a drought at the moment and have already been given hose-pipe bans.
